Dearest Ask-Anything Queen,
i have this friend whos totally obsessed with the one thing that bothers me the most... daisies. i swear we'll be walking in the mall, looking at cute skirts and she'll say 'oh i wonder if it comes in daisy print?' and for my birthday and every other holiday she gives me a bouquet of daisies. Every Friday too, which i guess is another holiday to her. She talks about them so much, knows all the best growing seasons, how much sun light they need, the exact fricken amounts of water they need in a day! how do i tell her that her daisy-crazy days need to be over- FAST! i dont think i can stand to be alone with her in another room, it'll literally drive me insane. PLEEEEASE HELP ME! thanks a ton
xo Love-Them-Not!

you obviously have a friend with a passion for daisies. this may not be your favorite thing in the world, but it seems to be your good friend's. if you are close enough to talk with your friend and care about their feelings, you know you should give them the utmost honest talk you can. you should sit down with your friend and talk to her about how daisies are very popular in her life, but they are starting to effect your friendship. tell her about how you get annoyed when she goes on about them. but dont be too harsh, you dont want any wrong words to come out. you could recommend your friend to share her love with these flowers with other plant-interested people. or even help your friend start up her own website so she can compile all her information and share it to everyone she wants instead of just YOU! if she continues to bug you and doesnt take into consideration your feelings, maybe this person isn't the great person you thought you knew. good luck, and thanks for asking my opinion!
